Technology, leave behind imagination and ethic

Source:The Economist

IT seems like that angel's needle, if which has to be endowed with a name and that must be technology, aiming at a egg, transfers God's power on human reproduction to our hands decorated with a pair of white surgical gloves and we don't know exactly how long this debated process will take but obviously the journey to the destination is not so long. And in a related researching field here comes a report showing that scientists have gained the ability to edit genes even before a embryo starts to develop, which triggered a indignation of ?society, just as the reveal of Dolly 20 years ago, while some people see it as the saviour of genetic diseases, is dividing the world into two distinctive sides.

Out of our imagination, technology is pushing forward looking like without any hurdle on the heading way and anyone with physical flaw or with whoever related to them, are looking forward to the gene-editing age's arrival. No doubt, the emerging tech will alleviate our pain and make our lives relatively easy. However the breakneck speed of technological development is too radical for common people and whole society,?whereas, luckily, the inhabitants in 21st century are not so conservative and stupid as their counterpart did decades ago and the tolerance of science has increase dramatically. When you are moving into the key problem, as a collateral but profound side effect of high speed development and the ethic problem is facing you, like a unavoidable monster on the trait of human race just like the monster-called steaming train . We can't frightened directly by the social problems it will cause and as we all know human is hyper-brainy and we can just strengthen the regulation of related technology and others measures should be taken at the same time too. Nothing, considering the known reality, will be more dread than planet-killing weapons, namely the nuclear warhead, but crying about the appearance will make no difference, still,and the world nowadays is running the same as it did millions of years ago.

We are living in a much fiercely changeable environment and the countries as well as individuals need to be adaptable to let the world go.
